Hi, folks! Thank you very much! I am back home and now another serf in the empire of Comcast.

I have a lot of resting and healing to do yet before I am allowed back to full range of motion. I'm still on limitations of no lifting over 5 lbs., no twisting, no bending, no driving.. until 12-weeks post-surgery, which will be around halfway through December. I will be seeing Dr. Patel (surgeon) again Oct. 30. Maybe, since I've been doing well, he will move up the post-restrictions date?! I hope.

I had my first visits last week from my home-care physical therapist and occupational therapist. PT mainly wants to work on my strength and balance and get me walking more and farther, without the cane before long. OT will help me to get bathroom shower setup safest for me and to see how I can best handle doing laundry (machines are in basement, one floor down from me).

Once I can walk somewhat farther (with or without cane), I will be able to make it over to Trader Joe's, around the corner and down the street just a bit, and to the bus stop, a little farther.
